Follow His voice (Part 2)
As I said in the first part, the GPS can help you to reach your destination if you follow its instructions.
Before understanding the importance of the GPS or the direction of the Holy Spirit, we must first know that God has a plan for his children. Here is what He says in Jeremiah 29: 11 " For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope"
God has already planned our future and He also sent his Spirit to guide us to a specific destination exactly like the GPS guides the driver. If the driver fails to follow the instructions of the GPS, he will lose his destination.
In concluding the first part, I mentioned five categories of Christians concerning the GPS of God and that each of us should be able to find his own category for the moment.
The first category is for the Christians who are completely unaware of the GPS of God. They believe in the existence of the Holy Spirit but do not know that He speaks and can guide us to the divine plan.
The second category is for the Christians who hear the voice of the Holy Spirit but do not understand His language. They know that He speaks and hear Him but fail to discern his message.
The third category is for the Christians who understand the message of the Holy Spirit but disobey. To hear and understand the voice of the Holy Spirit is one thing, to obey is another thing.
The fourth category is for the Christians who continue to speak to God without trying to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Their voice dominates the voice the Holy Spirit.
The fifth category is for the Christians who are sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit, who listen and follow His instructions.
What is your category for the moment? My wish is that one day we will all be in the fifth category. If you are in the first category, this teaching concerns you more than anyone. However, if you are in the second category, I advise you to approach a servant of God more mature than you for a private talk. I'm sure you'll discover many things. If you are in a country where you do not have access to this kind of talk, you can write to me in private.
In the third part, we will see how sometimes it can cost us a lot to follow the instructions of the GPS of God.
